Take a good look at your surroundings and your daily routine. What’s working, and what isn’t? Here are some ideas for things you can do during January to set yourself up for success this year:
Prioritize. Start each day by identifying your 3 most important tasks, and make sure you complete them before everything else. This can apply to your personal or work life.
Put it in writing. It’s hard to remember everything. Keep your to-do lists and other important info written or digitally saved so you can look back at it anytime.
Create a central info center. Keep up with schedules and tasks by coordinating with your family or co-workers on a plan for a central info center so that calendar items are editable and visible to all members.
Reduce clutter. Before buying something new, remove something old or something you don’t use from your home. Donate these items to others in need or sell them to help fund your next purchase.
Plan ahead. Create a budget with Arvest online banking, and manage your bank accounts by scheduling recurring payments and transfers with the Arvest Go® mobile app.
Clean up regularly. Allot 15-30 minutes per day to de-cluttering and cleaning up your home, office or vehicle. This will help you remain organized throughout the year.
While these are just a few examples of ways to get organized, we encourage you to start with this list, and then add to it as you see areas that need improvement. Increased productivity, time and organization are great ways to set yourself up for success in 2025!
